COP 28 is revealing its true colors and purpose.

There are 2,456 climate lobbyists at COP 28 (red bar).
That’s more than the total of the 64 smallest delegations (gray bar).
It’s three times as big the delegation from Big Oil’s wholly owned subsidiary, the U.S. government.

Now we know what COP stands for. It’s the conference of the polluters.
